Abstract

See full text

When an ideal voltage reference is assumed such that the central value of the data voltage envelope is constant, the selection voltages include various successive portions which have a duration longer than a time control window, substantially correspond to a single polarity, have an average voltage in the range of 0.95 times Vs.sup.+ to 0,95 times Vs.sup.-, where Vs.sup.+ and Vs.sup.- are the positive and negative peak values in the selection voltage assembly. Said assembly has overlapping selection times and is such that all positive voltages higher than 0.9 Vs.sup.+ are included in a first time interval set and all negative voltages higher than 0.9 Vs.sup.- are included in a second time interval set, the voltages of said first set being interlaced with the voltages of said second set, with intervals of both sets within each time control window substantially corresponding to the two polarities of the selection voltage associated with the concerned window. Furthermore, the integrated circuits that generate the selection voltages are supplied with undulated voltages having peak-to-peak amplitudes higher than 0.1 (Vs.sup.+ -Vs.sup.-), with maximum values in the first time intervals and minimum values in the second time intervals. In addition to the above outlined method, this invention relates to a display device comprising a ferroelectric liquid crystal matrix panel as well as a circuitry for generating and coupling the above described control voltages, also including selection voltage generating integrated circuits, that are supplied with voltages the difference of which is less than 0.9 (Vs.sup.+ -Vs.sup.-).
